medal tonight? >> well, i think trump is headed for a win but i think it's going to be closer than many people think. i think he'll win it. in south carolina, it's win -- the important spots are win, place and show. and the silver is really important in this. and there's a competitive race between marco rubio and ted cruz. because of momentum, i think marco rubio pulls out second. which makes it very difficult for ted cruz in the super tuesday states coming up. because he hoped to take this with momentum there. >> you don't want to finish out of the podium. speaking of which, jeb bush, i want to ask you specifically about him. something that he said at rally last night at a high school. here it is. >> thank you very much for allowing us to close out campaign here at your high school. god bless you. >> he said "close out our campaign here at this high school," does that sound like he's going to call it quits on the trail?

7:12 am
boycott apple. >> reporter: apple ceo tim cook said it won't create a back door because helping to unlock the device would mean circumventing several important features. >> it's not about us trying to get a back door. i don't want a door, i don't want a window, i don't want a sliding glass door. i want people to comply with court orders. >> reporter: apple executives say they tried helping the feds. shortly after investigators found syed farook's phone, they reset the password removing apple's ability to access the phone remotely. now the only way into the phone, cracking the numerical pass code. investigators only have ten tries before the phone automatically erases the data. a risk that the feds aren't willing to take when there are thousands of possible combinations. >> just because it's easy to do doesn't mean you should do it.
7:13 am
